Hi all,

Thanks to Robert Lanzatti and Dan Hopkins for their suggestions.

It seems to me that this would work, but I would have to disable host
checks (as Dan Hopkins suggested), by setting my host check plugin to
check_dummy, otherwise the event handler will still be suppressed when
the host goes down. 

It seems rather awkward, adds a maintenance headache, and requires extra
training for the support staff, so I'm still looking for a better
solution. But I will try it and let you know if it works.

Cheers, Chris.
